ABSTRACT
Published in 2024, “Ilyenkov’s Image in Memoirs” is an anthology of texts written at different times by different authors. The topics covered are extremely broad: Ilyenkov’s everyday life, personal life, his philosophical research, teaching and other social activities. Together with the authors, the reader will be able to look at Ilyenkov’s personality from a different angle, to understand more deeply the context and the essence of key philosophical issues reflected in his work. Despite the lack of chronological and thematic structure, the book is integral in its own way, as art works are integral: various texts complement and reveal the content of each other, allow us to see how Ilyenkov’s work grows and develops over time. Reading the memoirs allows us not only to form a livelier and more comprehen-sive picture of Ilyenkov’s life and work, but also to reflect on what exactly and why we strive to retain in our own activities, how we ourselves treat philosophy in general, how we understand its role in history.
KEYWORDS: Evald Ilyenkov, Zagorsk experiment, thinking, the problem of ideal.
